hey,
your setup sounds good. I would say, that u should do 18/6. In my opinion it doesn't really makes any difference. 24/0 or 18/6. I have few grow/flowering rooms and there are 24/0 in one of them, 18/6 in the other and 12/12 in the third one... and the reason I have 24/0 is just cuz I don't have a third timer LMAO
what's up with ventilation system? is there any air circulation in your growroom?
don't straighten up your seedlings. they gonna do it themselves. in fact, be careful with your plants. they easy to damage while they so small. keep your CFL's as close as possible. then your plants will grow bushy and short. I guess 4-5 inches is perfect distance.
good luck.

orange_cloud Reviewed by orange_cloud on . Another first grow - NLxBB Well I started my first grow about a week ago. I had 5 northern lights x big bud seeds that i germinated, but only 3 sprouted. thats probably all i have room for anyways though. im using a bunch of cfls for the whole grow - 4 26w cools, 2 32 w cools and 1 42w warm. for soil, i mixed up some ocean forest (50%) perlite (30%) and vermiculite (20%). right now im using 24/0 light schedule. im thinkin about goin 18/6. i know there is a lot of debate as to which is better, what have you guys Rating: 5
